In the serene Scottish landscape, a fortress-like transformation of Trump's Turnberry resort has sparked intrigue and unease among locals and visitors alike.

President Trump is expected to spend much of his time at his golf courses. He'll also meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Protestors in Scotland say they will mount a wave of resistance as US President Donald Trump arrived in the country on Friday for a five-day private visit.

A campaign is underway in London, aiming to plaster posters of President Trump and the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in highly visible locations.

The Scots are generally not fans of Mr. Trump, and protests are already planned. A group called “Stop Trump Scotland” said it is organizing a “festival of resistance” against Mr. Trump during the trip and has called on John Swinney, the first minister of Scotland, to decline to meet with him.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has confirmed that Trump will be visiting Turnberry in Scotland, where he owns a hotel and golf course. The trip will also include a stop in Aberdeen, a northern Scottish town close to his other golf course, the Trump International Golf Links.

P rotesters have placed a sign saying "twinned with Epstein Island" outside Donald Trump's golf course in Scotland as the US President faces mounting pressure to release files related to the disgraced financier. The sign was put in place by protesters from political campaign group Everyone Hates Elon.

Scottish police prepare for Donald Trump's visit, considering past assassination attempts and protest reactions across the UK.

President Trump arrived in Scotland Friday for a four-day private trip, his first to the U.K. since he was reelected.
